Vermont House Weakens Environmental Chief Power
The Vermont House passed a shoreline zoning bill by voice vote to limit Environmental Conservation Secretary Martin Johnson. Lawmakers shifted water and floodplain control to municipalities after floods caused over 60 million dollars in damage last summer. Senate action also moved to remove Fish and Game from Johnsons agency, with over thirty thousand dollars shifted to other agencies.

Vermont grocers oppose bottle deposit laws at hearing
Mom and Pop grocery owners across Vermont voiced strong opposition to any bottle deposit law, saying deposits deter customers and drive sales to neighboring states. They cited losses since the current five cent deposit took effect, while a few backers argued for a two to five cent refillable bottle deposit and a penny nonreturnable tax.

1974 Inflation Outlook Warns of Worse to Come

Growth is projected at about 8 percent in GNP, but real output would rise only 1 percent, as energy shortages bite auto manufacturing and tourism.

House panel asserts broad subpoena power over Nixon
The House Judiciary Committee adopted a three page resolution claiming it can compel attendance and testimony from any person including President Nixon. Chairman Rodino said Nixon’s testifying could be grounds for impeachment though it may seek documents and tapes instead. The panel may also issue interrogatories and could even seek grand jury material from Leon Jaworski. Republicans failed to set an April 30 impeachment decision deadline.

UPI reports that Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski maintains no basis to charge John W. Dean with perjury, despite Republican attacks on his Watergate testimony.
